They're always fake. Look at pewdiepie, the Logan brothers and anyone else who has been caught. None of their apologies were ever truly sincere due to their influence and or wealth. If people were truly sorry then logically they would've considered the ramifications in the first place. That's why I personally never believe any of them.
@@arnv4487 don't twist what I said around. My point was, was that if you KNOW what you're doing/have done was wrong then those actions shouldn't have been chosen to begin with...thus once caught the apology wouldn't be sincere particularly if said similar actions are repeated.
@@MrDjsmooth87 How am I twisting around what you said? I literally just took what you said and applied that same logic to other people. Not to mention your clarification was basically restating your original point.

I could argue that fanfiction or using forums like spacebattles is free. “Example” But its still technically not since you need an internet connection and data. “Also the occasional add”
@@gappuma7883 Think about it this way. If you are a worker, your company will give you free lunch usually in exchange for a lower salary and you are giving up your freedom to choose since you will be limited to what is going to be served in the cafeteria. If somebody is treating you for lunch, your choices will rely on where he or she wants to eat, thus, giving up your freedom to choose, again, and your time since you have to be with that person. If a company offers you free lunch as part of a promotion, that is usually in exchange for trying or buying their merchandise and that you have to join them on that promotion.
A simple way of avoiding all these hassles is not giving money to whoever asks you for your money, no matter how wonderfull the suppost service might be to you.
People keep falling for the scams (including some of my friends and family). Most people just too naive doesn't matter young people or senior, it's just hard to tell them logic.
Just see the scam calls i get occasionally they all but outright say there a scam caller and don’t even try to hide it. Yet since they do it they have to actually get people to fall for it. “One in particular comes to mind while i cant remember the exact details it was one of those microsoft ones But how he said it came off like he was completely tech illiterate.” “Or most others that barely speak english and don’t even try to make it sound like there from the company they claim”.
No MLMs/pyramid schemes? Seems like half the people i graduated with are trying to sell me a "life changing" product while they sit in the same trailer they always have..
I'm sure many are legit, but it seems a little presumptuous to me for a con artist to try to put a positive spin on their scam, expecting everyone to just accept it without question..
@@randystegemann9990 The fake investment scammers don't even have to put a spin on it. Say they con 1000 people who send them money. Like the video said, only 250 people will see any wins. So they focus on them. Everyone else loses out. But the 25% figure they won a small amount once, so they gamble again, this time sending more. It's a really old trick.
@@FurnitureFan I'll say it's old. And tired. If that figure ever reaches 25% they're probably the first in a pyramid scheme. Nothing more than thieves pretending to be legitimate businessmen. Those preying on the elderly should be locked up for a long time.
MOST of the scammers I've seen around have TERRIBLE grammar and what they write makes NO sense. It's typically obvious who is trying to con you right off the bat.
The fitness influencers! I had a woman that was on my fb, that was just like the fitness lady on here, that I signed up with. I can’t remember her name. But I tried to call, e-mail, ect. To end my membership. And after 5 months, I could t get in touch with ANYONE! I even started posting on the girls sight to let others know, and to try to get her attention. Eventually, I had to block payments through my bank, since there was NO way to need my membership in any other way. It royally ticked me off
In England there is a HMRC scam going on right now they either txt or email telling the victim to call back immediately on the number they so kindly provide.
I do risk assessments for my company and while everyone is scoffing and saying that people are naive, it doesn't take much for it to happen to any of you. Not everyone is technically literate so it's important to share information like this with your loved ones and keep up with the news. I've seen some pretty advanced phishing techniques that I've almost fallen for myself,so make sure you turn on multiple factor authentication for everything!

I find it surprising that some people actually believe these scams at face value. It doesn’t take much thought to see how obviously fake they are, but I guess that shows how gullible those who use social are.
As a cybersec professional, just know it doesn't take much. Sometimes a single sentence. And don't be fooled, it can happen to anyone, even the most cynical of us. Just look at the Solar winds incident.

I experienced somebody trying to do the Instagram delete account scam to me on steam, though it was steam related, somebody hacked one of my friends steam accounts and tried to use it to phish me, and he ALMOST got me too. this goes to show, always be on your guard. even a seasoned internet pro can fall for these if you don't keep alert.
I love the ones who say "my Jesus Lord and Savior" BS. I let them talk and talk and talk about how they love Jesus and "may God strike me down if this is false information."

Yes, I’ve heard of the keto diet. I’ve heard it described as a “fad” diet. So this quote from Pelswick should be a warning about “fads”: “Today’s hip (hippie) is tommorow’s stupid (disco).”

Fake ads offering crazy deals on products. I feel for one. It was a promotional deal on an insta translation device that I'd seen work online before. The company sold jewelry primarily, which I thought was odd, but no flags were raised. They never sent the product and it took a few days to find the link again. When I got in touch with them, they sent fake order numbers and promised it'd been shipped. But I got two order numbers per email and they were always different. Why would I need 2 order numbers for one product. Thankfully, my CC reversed the charge and I haven't seen them on Facebook again. But it's still a huge issue.
There is also these scams to give you free money/products but in order to get them you have you answer so many relevant questions on a multiple choice type quiz.
My mom got a call from my brother saying he was in a wreck and needed money. He said to put 900 on a card. She said no I will go to the bank and get the money out. He hung up. It was not my brother. I got the Social Security scam call twice. Also the IRS scam call. I am not stupid. If they want me they can come get me.
I got the social security call. I work in a hospital overnights. So, I was mid stuper. They almost got me fortunately I didn't give them any information that would've gotten me in a situation I couldn't get out of.
Caution! Don't trust humans! Or the bots they create. To anyone who is honest: It is your distrust in yourself that keeps your attention on your daily choices. It is the ones who truly trust themselves that you need to watch!
Social media scams have killed the venerable crank call. My personal favorite was the random call that reached a middle aged woman. The best crank for this type of target was to pretend to be a small child accidentally left at a mall/shopping center, now calling its mother for help. The more you call the woman "mommy", the more panicked she will generally become. :)
YES I WAS A VICTIM! I am a social worker who was contacted by a scammer pretending to be a social worker for African children, and started to send me actual videos of their work! I didn't buy it at first until he ACTUALLY contacted me on Skype! Then he told me that there was a connection problem and we started a normal chat. After a long chat he asked me to send him money as a start but I didn't accept for it's not the formal professional way in our work. And guess what? He sent me a fake pornography video of myself with a child as he had hacked my webcam and was recording me all the time we were chatting to blackmail me!!! Thanks God that the authority took care of that and he was busted!
Another great vid, guys. Another scam I've seen is on Instagram. Someone would hack a friend's account, then message you, pretending to be them. A message would say that they saw your profile in the top 25 worst Instagram profiles, then hope you click on the link, but DON'T.
I partially fell for a different scam. I had several nice chats with a real celebrity and I really enjoyed the chats. Then this so-called "celebrity" asked me to buy them some voucher cards for various reasons. Well, I may be stupid enough to chat to fake celebrities, but I ain't giving money to any person I haven't met in person before.
Keto diet has existed for decades but has suddenly become a popular craze in the weight loss industry, its surge in popularity will only last until the next weight loss supplement /program is created or revived.... by proper definition it's currently a fad diet, not that being a fad diet makes it an incorrect or bad dietary option.
"a trustworthy source like a friend of government" no government is ever trustworthy. First thing I do when a friends sends a long msg or saying to click or go to a site, is to msg them and ask if they did it and everytime its no. according to "FB" my account is ment to be deleted at least 4 times over the past few years from a msg saying to do something.
You forgot all the advertising scams that one sees when they are reading free news stories on their Iphones. Ads that have a picture of Bill Gate that have links to bitcoin sign up sites. One of these links nearly caught me as it seemed so legit. Then there are all the constantly annoying PPI ads forever forcing people to hand over personal details.
When I see someone flaunting their cash in a picture, it makes me think they are having sex with themselves. More in love with them self than they would be to someone else.
A good thing is to never put money or login details through a email link to start with “if theres a legitimate reason just go to the website manually” also “more for calls” any legitimate company will let you ask for there name so you can call them back using the legitimate contact number “found by you not given by them” if theres any money/personal details involved.
Change your password to something crazy and difficult to guess, and get a VPN. Also, check your outgoing messages on Facebook often, that way if you get hacked and someone is sending out messages claiming to be you, you can change your password as soon as it happens.
In regards to giving out your address and other personal information to scammers, if you know it's a scam, just randomly select a pedophile from the local sex offender registry in your neighborhood or state and provide the scammer without information. If there's one person that deserves to be scammed, it's sexual predators!
Simple rules to follow: 1) Never pay in advance unless you do it via someone who have the ability to chancel your payment, like PayPal. 2) Newer give your personal info's online to anyone 3) If you are contacted by anyone that claim to be from somewhere, ask them of there name and say you will call back, then call the phone number you by your self do find and then cal them and ask about if that person is legitimate and ask to talk to that person.
And if you’ve only talked on-line & they’re stuck in a prison or need money for whatever-how do so many people still fall for the ‘Nigerian Prince’ scam!?
Also eBay. If you’re a new seller people will send you offers for more money than you listed it for, then say contact me out of eBay so we can finish payment, then try to get you to put gift cards with it then they get their money back and you lose all yours. I get 10 of these scam requests every week. Don’t accept any payment unless you get it straight into your account from a buyer with a real address and more than 0 reviews
That influencer that got contacted by Wendy Murdoch must have really overrated her importance if she thinks someone like W. Murdoch would do deals in person over social media just for her😄
It is unbelievable that there actually are people so idiot that they would believe someone they don't know asking money for whatever in return. This is common sense, people. No one has to warn you about the possibilities of these kind of frauds because you are the one who has to be aware of your own responsibilities to lead your lives decently. The Internet has much more to make you lose than to make you gain.
There's a big scam that's been going on for the longest in regards to selling vehicles and other items on 3rd party web sites that you would pay with gift cards for only to find out later that you've been scammed
The biggest Facebook scammer is Elijah "Delorean" Johnson. Dude has been scamming people since 2015. Just gotta give him 40$ to apart of his squad with a bunch of "perks" Then he blocks you lmao. He also has stolen music on youtube... But still has 4 mil followers on FB. Internet is scary!!!! 😂💨🔥💯
The only one I disagreed with: Yogi Detox Tea actually makes me feel soooo "detoxed" the next morning...clear head, ready to get up early, etc. ...and there are herbs that help to cleanse your liver and other organs, for sure....
That's not how they get your private information though. If you do them through Facebook and grant them permission to access your profile, all that information is given to them even before you answer anything
Experiment: Check a few brokers and even without signing up, you will start receiving calls upon calls over the first two weeks from people mentioning you have signed up but never activated your account and oh boy if you tell them you have not signed up. At least once I have actually created an account with a broker and might have had accepted their policies and my data has been shared resulting in these calls but just from checking brokers you will get these calls (10 per 5 working days or more).
Most of this is just common sense. Don't send tons of money without thoroughly researching everything. Don't believe everything you read or hear (that was something I was taught as a kid, long before internet scams were a thing!).
taxes are a target too, for instances i'm getting text messages from a banking institution who i've never heard of, and never dealt with but is real (forgot name since i didn't care and knew it was a scam) but asking me if i was happy with my application process. so if you get a message like that research that schiat first and verify before handing out personal info.
My experience with Ancestry.com was quite a suprise. I was taking care of my sick brother, (he passed in November) and didn't check my bank acct for 2 or 3 months. Jan I got my acct up and they had been charging me for two services. I wasn't getting anything for the $18.00 a month they were taking. No one there answered the phone. I started looking to see if other ppl had this happen and that is how I went to BBB. I only got a partial refund. So turned me off to use that company. I hate that name turned blue on this comment but wtf?
I occasionally answer a survey ad on UA-cam to help a content creator but I just randomly click something. I never do any of those facebook surveys. It's bad enough I'm giving away my search results and viewing preferences against my will. I'm not giving them any more information.

I've been on the "we are scammer's" victims list with people ringing me up saying that thay are my bank and there a problem with my account and do I want to sort it over the phone. When I say I want to sort it out in the bank and try to make an appointment thay hang up. Most recently I've had texts about my PayPal account.

Keto diet has existed for decades but has suddenly become a popular craze in the weight loss industry, its surge in popularity will only last until the next weight loss supplement /program is created or revived.... by proper definition it's currently a fad diet, not that being a fad diet makes it an incorrect or bad dietary option.
Facebook cares for you privacy? Haha that´s a good one
6:27 I still think that guy (who has recently enlisted Dr. Drew) who keeps saying you don’t have to do cardio is a scam.
Am I the only one who laughed when he said,
"SUSPICIOUSLY ORANGE HUMAN BEING"
In his monotonous voice XD
There’s a lot to be said for not being an influencer or on Instagram!
"a trustworthy source like a friend of government" no government is ever trustworthy.
First thing I do when a friends sends a long msg or saying to click or go to a site, is to msg them and ask if they did it and everytime its no.
according to "FB" my account is ment to be deleted at least 4 times over the past few years from a msg saying to do something.
You forgot all the advertising scams that one sees when they are reading free news stories on their Iphones. Ads that have a picture of Bill Gate that have links to bitcoin sign up sites. One of these links nearly caught me as it seemed so legit. Then there are all the constantly annoying PPI ads forever forcing people to hand over personal details.
When I see someone flaunting their cash in a picture, it makes me think they are having sex with themselves. More in love with them self than they would be to someone else.
Greed,laziness and naivety.
A good thing is to never put money or login details through a email link to start with “if theres a legitimate reason just go to the website manually” also “more for calls” any legitimate company will let you ask for there name so you can call them back using the legitimate contact number “found by you not given by them” if theres any money/personal details involved.
Change your password to something crazy and difficult to guess, and get a VPN. Also, check your outgoing messages on Facebook often, that way if you get hacked and someone is sending out messages claiming to be you, you can change your password as soon as it happens.
The last one…. I saw these fake traders on Instagram a lot. It’s really annoying
In regards to giving out your address and other personal information to scammers, if you know it's a scam, just randomly select a pedophile from the local sex offender registry in your neighborhood or state and provide the scammer without information.
If there's one person that deserves to be scammed, it's sexual predators!
Don’t trust good looking people online.....bottom line!!!
Simple rules to follow:
1) Never pay in advance unless you do it via someone who have the ability to chancel your payment, like PayPal.
2) Newer give your personal info's online to anyone
3) If you are contacted by anyone that claim to be from somewhere, ask them of there name and say you will call back, then call the phone number you by your self do find and then cal them and ask about if that person is legitimate and ask to talk to that person.
And if you’ve only talked on-line & they’re stuck in a prison or need money for whatever-how do so many people still fall for the ‘Nigerian Prince’ scam!?
You know someone is fake when they’re reading an apology from their phone.....
Also eBay. If you’re a new seller people will send you offers for more money than you listed it for, then say contact me out of eBay so we can finish payment, then try to get you to put gift cards with it then they get their money back and you lose all yours. I get 10 of these scam requests every week. Don’t accept any payment unless you get it straight into your account from a buyer with a real address and more than 0 reviews
That influencer that got contacted by Wendy Murdoch must have really overrated her importance if she thinks someone like W. Murdoch would do deals in person over social media just for her😄
The good news is that target advertising reduces the number of annoying irrelevant ads you have to put up with.
Yeah? rrRight!😂🤣
U know what would make a great product a pill that make things that are unhealthy bitter for dieting people
It is unbelievable that there actually are people so idiot that they would believe someone they don't know asking money for whatever in return. This is common sense, people. No one has to warn you about the possibilities of these kind of frauds because you are the one who has to be aware of your own responsibilities to lead your lives decently. The Internet has much more to make you lose than to make you gain.
There's a big scam that's been going on for the longest in regards to selling vehicles and other items on 3rd party web sites that you would pay with gift cards for only to find out later that you've been scammed
3:45 unless there's a single not in between the words government and trust don't go in the same sentence
I fail to understand the obsession over Social Media.
The biggest Facebook scammer is Elijah "Delorean" Johnson. Dude has been scamming people since 2015. Just gotta give him 40$ to apart of his squad with a bunch of "perks" Then he blocks you lmao. He also has stolen music on youtube... But still has 4 mil followers on FB. Internet is scary!!!! 😂💨🔥💯
The only one I disagreed with: Yogi Detox Tea actually makes me feel soooo "detoxed" the next morning...clear head, ready to get up early, etc. ...and there are herbs that help to cleanse your liver and other organs, for sure....
That Keto diet actually works. My mom was on the keto diet but without the pills and was able to lose quite a bit of weight.
I used to always answer social media quizzes sarcastically so basically there’s a file full of my fake information and prefrances 😂
That's not how they get your private information though. If you do them through Facebook and grant them permission to access your profile, all that information is given to them even before you answer anything
but, But, BUT I just sent that nice African Prince $100. LOL
social media is the worst thing from the modern age
Please put romance scams in future
Experiment: Check a few brokers and even without signing up, you will start receiving calls upon calls over the first two weeks from people mentioning you have signed up but never activated your account and oh boy if you tell them you have not signed up. At least once I have actually created an account with a broker and might have had accepted their policies and my data has been shared resulting in these calls but just from checking brokers you will get these calls (10 per 5 working days or more).
Most of this is just common sense. Don't send tons of money without thoroughly researching everything. Don't believe everything you read or hear (that was something I was taught as a kid, long before internet scams were a thing!).
3:15 Proof Boomers should stay away from the Internet.
taxes are a target too, for instances i'm getting text messages from a banking institution who i've never heard of, and never dealt with but is real (forgot name since i didn't care and knew it was a scam) but asking me if i was happy with my application process. so if you get a message like that research that schiat first and verify before handing out personal info.
My experience with Ancestry.com was quite a suprise. I was taking care of my sick brother, (he passed in November) and didn't check my bank acct for 2 or 3 months. Jan I got my acct up and they had been charging me for two services. I wasn't getting anything for the $18.00 a month they were taking. No one there answered the phone. I started looking to see if other ppl had this happen and that is how I went to BBB. I only got a partial refund. So turned me off to use that company. I hate that name turned blue on this comment but wtf?
People make me sick. We're all out here trying our hardest to just get by.. Then they still from us!! It's a sick world we live in!!
I occasionally answer a survey ad on UA-cam to help a content creator but I just randomly click something. I never do any of those facebook surveys.
It's bad enough I'm giving away my search results and viewing preferences against my will. I'm not giving them any more information.
Good video Deceptive Scoal Media Scams You Should Be Aware Of True see people that you know even if you have friends like Facebook Instagram if you don't friends meet new people to get a long know their name This From BE AMAZED
If you’re going to buy or give money to anyone online, just don’t. Not worth it.
i"m Suprised Roblox Scammers weren't #1, I mean only like 170M Users Out of the 1.1 BILLION USERS aren't scammers
Lol. I was looking to buy my daughter robux & could'nt believe how many scammers they were!!! :-O it seems to be the latest scammers who have upgraded from running pyramid schemes haha
Some Jonathan Galindo account asked me to play a game and said: okay you need to cut f21 on ur arm
Me: okay I’ll send the link of the photo
He got Rick rolled really hard
Always keep an eye on your credit card accounts. Couple of times some discrepancies have been found that were worth $180 - $280AUSD.
I've been on the "we are scammer's" victims list with people ringing me up saying that thay are my bank and there a problem with my account and do I want to sort it over the phone. When I say I want to sort it out in the bank and try to make an appointment thay hang up. Most recently I've had texts about my PayPal account.
Finally a video that is not creepy
